12 illegal housing extensions in Panvel demolished

NAVI MUMBAI: The Panvel Municipal Council anti-encroachment team demolished 12 illegal constructions and extensions to structures in the civic body housing areas. “We demolished 12 illegal structures in Mahakali Nagar area where our workers have been given houses,” said PMC city engineer Bapusaheb Choudhary.

He added, 15 days ago, 12 illegally constructed sheds in Valmiki Nagar were also removed. A resident of the civic housing, Mahesh Gharat said that the squad demolished about ten structures as they had not obtained permission. Another resident said that illegal extensions by civic workers set a bad precedent.

Currently, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied at 12 per cent on payments made for under-construction property or ready-to-move-in flats where completion certificate has not been issued at the time of sale.
